"A" Honor Roll

Savannah came home excited with her award for the honor roll. She also just got glasses last week. She loves them she picked them out herself. She started saying that she had a hard time seeing things and she was right she needed glasses. She loves seeing things far away that she couldn't before. It wasn't hurting her schooling though she is doing really well. Volleyball just ended last week too and she loved being on the team. She is looking forward to soft ball next.

Costume Parade

Kaylie is Violet from Incredibles and Paige is a Fairy this year.
We are so excited about Trick or Treating tonight.
Jacob, Paige and I all went to watch the girls at their Halloween parade. Savannah
is a vampire this year.


Trunk or Treat

We all got to go the the church for Trunk or Treat. We played games (Jacob was incharge of the pumpkin toss game and he was so cute with all the kids acting like they were actually what they were dressed up as) Savannah, Hannah and Kaylie won goldfish again this year and we actually had somewhere to put them this time and they are still doing good. They had a spook alley and a jump house too. The trunks were all decorated fun and Paige was afraid of most of those. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well I got it on her for three minutes.




Our Pumpkin Patch

Somehow we got all the pumpkins carved and lit outside before 7:30. Savannah, Hannah, and Kaylie made cat faces, Nate did the traditional scary face and Paige has a Dora face pumpkin.

We had the missionaries over for dinner tonight and I told the kids we would have to go to the pumpkin patch another night or we could go to SaveMart today and they all excitedly voted today! So they all got the pumpkins they wanted and we got home to work on them.

Circus Circus Festival



We got to go to two Fall Festivals! The biggest hit was the pony rides, holding the bunnies and cotton candy. The kids had fun together as they always do and we loved watching them smile.

Fall Festival


We all enjoyed the food, games, hair painting, and the hay ride. We got to work at Savannah and Kayie's booths, the girls loved helping.

Fall Festival Cake Contest


The girls really wanted to enter the contest again this year so Savannah decided to do a scarecrow head cake and Kaylie wanted to do a bat cake. They had a great time decorating them all by themselves. They love anything to do with baking and cooking. I love to teach them how to do things they are ready for. They didn't win but we had fun.

Matching Dresses

This year all the girls needed winter dresses so I got them all the same dress and they loved matching. They are all so pretty and they love eachother so much. I hope they will always be as close as they are now to eachother.

Hannah joined Gymnastics with us

I found a way to be able to sign up Hannah to Gymnastics and she is so excited. She is already caught up to Kaylie and loving the bars, vault and the balance beam. They are even on the high balance beam already and they do it very gracefully. The white specks is the chalk they put on their hands, they always use too much but they love it.

Second year of Volleyball

Savannah wanted to play volleyball again this year with the Veterans and she is having a good time. Her coach is Victor and there are six girls on the team. They get to play the entire hour of the games. They are all getting their serves over pretty consistently this year. Jacob helped her with her serve at the park last week so we will see if she can do it at the game tomorrow. She has two more games left. All of her sisters are eager to join the volleyball team next year too.
